Technology is the new wave of the 21st century. Technology is how we can differentiate learning and engage our students regardless of what level they are on. This new iGeneration is immersed in technology. Their tech world is open 24/7, now we as the teacher need to take advantage of their love of technology to refocus education. In doing so we'll not only get students more involved in learning, but also free up classroom time to help them make meaning of the wealth of information that surrounds them.
An example of the use of a specific technology that supports the 21st century skills are:
